    S4 Ep117: The Turning Tide
    Feb 15 2026
    Have you ever wondered what drives someone to pour out their most precious possession as an act of devotion? In this powerful message, Pastor Nick explores a pivotal moment in Jesus' ministry when the tide began turning against him, even as some demonstrated radical faith. Through the story of Mary breaking an alabaster jar of expensive perfume to anoint Jesus, we see how true discipleship often requires breaking open our lives in complete surrender to Christ. Pastor Nick weaves together Jesus' interactions with religious leaders, his raising of Lazarus, and Mary's extravagant gift to illuminate how people either fully commit to Jesus or turn away when counting the cost. He connects this to modern trends, noting encouraging signs of spiritual awakening among younger generations while warning against Satan's attempts to keep us from full commitment to Christ. The message culminates in a challenge to the congregation at their own crossroads - will they, like Mary, break open their lives in complete devotion to Jesus rather than maintaining a safe, mediocre faith?
